Trump added that he misses the freedom he had before he entered the White House, a feeling that many presidents spoke about, usually after seven or eight years. Trump mentioned that although he did not have much privacy before being president, he is surprised how little he has now. "You're really into your own little cocoon, because you have such massive protection that you really can't go anywhere," he said.

Tomorrow (Saturday), the president will hold a rally in Philadelphia coinciding with the annual White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington DC. Breaking a long-standing presidential tradition, Trump said he will not attend the event where jokes are told at the president’s and the US media’s expense.
